Signs you need AC cleaning
Weak airflow, dusty smell, visible dirt on filters, or a unit that cools but not as strongly as before usually means a clean and service is enough.
Signs you need AC repair
No cooling, water leaks, strange noises, frequent trips, or error codes often need a technician for diagnosis, gas refill or part replacement.
Typical costs
AC cleaning packages often start near mid-range AED pricing per unit; repairs vary by parts and labour. Lipslay shows starting prices and lets you confirm the visit scope with the professional.
